Power to the Witch
RIDING THE WHITE GODDESS
"The Goddess in all her manifestations was a symbol of the
unity of all life in Nature.
Her power was in water & stone, in tomb & cave, in animals & birds, snakes & fish,
hills, trees, & flowers.
Hence the holistic & mythological perception of the sacredness& mystery
of all there is on Earth.
The Goddess gradually retreated into the depths of forests
or onto mountaintops,
where she remains to this day
in beliefs and fairy stories.
Human alienation from the vital roots
of earthly life ensued,
the results of which are clear
in our contemporary society.
But the cycles never stop turning,
and now we find the Goddess reemerging
from forests and mountains,
bringing us hope for the future,
returning us to our most
ancient human roots."
Quoted from Marija Gimbutas
& originally from the book: The Language of the Goddess.
Poetic Quote:
*"Great Goddess, you have been the delight
of every Fairy knoll.
You have been the darling of every goodly land."*
You have been all wonderful to us!
*"You have been a speckled salmon in a pool,
granting us wisdom.
You have been a Wiley red fox
in the golden wood, seldom seen.
Bright Lady, speak unto us." *
*L.C.

THE ONE
In our faith, we believe that
which most call or name "Creator
or "The One" or "Divine Light" etc.
as being similar to what some Druids & Others
call "The Source".
Yet, which we of Fae-Merfolk Shamanic Faith
also call "The Loving Life Source".
We do not exclusively prescribe a particular gender
to this Supreme aspect of the
Divine Life Source.
The Source can be everything & anything
& thus can not be limited by us this way.
This is the source of all creative energy
from which everything else emanates.
Emanating From this Divine Life Source
comes what some would call,
"Mother Nature".
We can all understand
how all encompassing this life force is,
through myriads of forms.
(Perhaps that is the easiest concept
for most of us to understand.)
Both the knowing & the mystery of nature....multi-faceted..
Next come
(what some would call "Goddess" & "God" energies or)
"Divine Mother & Father" Energies
who also emanate directly from
This Loving Source
(The Loving Life Source).
Therefore,
The "Goddess & God" energies
are able to travel all levels of existence
as needed or desired
& they may appear to us on the earthly plane
in forms that we can more easily understand
& identify with.
The Fae's Green Man is a loving helper to Mother Nature.
He also helps males rebalance away from dominator images
for the healing of our planet & the Spiritual Rebalancing
& healing of us all.
Yet, for us, all life energies emanate from this divine source,
"The Loving Life Source"
in more or less consciousness, remembrance or awareness
of this however.
From Divine Beings, on down past the tiniest molecules.
Therefore,
We also love other Beings & Animals,
that exist on the physical plane with earthly humans,
very dearly.
Many of us work to protect endangered species on earth,
& for the healing
& protection of the environment. :0)

The Loving Source
We believe that as emanating from
"The Source",
our
Divine Mother & Father
are limitless
& can take on any loving form
they choose !
Even when we see a little flower
we know that the same life energy
that illuminates it,
illuminates all of Nature & Life.
Till We Merry Meet Again & Always,
May the Love of the Fae,
Surround You with Mother Nature's
(The Flower Faced Fae Queen)
& The Fae's Green Man
Nature Blessings!
The Charge of the Goddess
Listen to the words of the Great Goddess,
who in ancient times was named Artemis, Diana, Astarte,
Ishtar, Aphrodite, Venus, Cerridwen, the Morrigu, Freyja, the White Lady
and by many other names.
Wherever you have need of my aid,
assemble in a secret place at least once a month,
especially at the Full Moon.
Know that My laws and love shall make you free,
for no man can prevent your worship of Me in your mind and heart.
Listen well when you come into My presence,
and I shall teach you of deep mysteries,
ancient and powerful.
I require no sacrifice or pain of your bodies,
for I am Mother of all things, the Creatress who made you out of my love,
and the One who endures through all time.
I am the One who is the beauty of the Earth, the green of the growing things.
I am the White Moon, whose light is full among the stars, soft upon the Earth.
From me all things are born; to Me all things, in their season, return.
Let My joyous worship be in your hearts,
for all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.
You see me in the Love of man and woman,
the love of parent and child,
the love of humans for all my creations.
When you create with your hands, I am there.
Blow a breath of life into the seeds you plant, whether plant or child.
Always, I stand beside you, whispering the soft words of Wisdom and Guidance.
All seekers of the mysteries must come to me,
for I am the True Source, the Keeper of the Cauldron.
All who seek to know Me, know this:
All your seeking and yearning will avail you nothing
unless you know the Mystery,
for what you seek you find not within you will never find it without,
for behold I have been with you from the beginning
and I will gather you to my breast
at the end of your earthly existence
and return you back again.
